Fourth GenerationDiamond, Pearl, and Platinum kicked off the fourth generation of Pokémon. Two years later, fans of the Johto region were treated to a remastered adventure in HeartGold & SoulSilver. Discuss the games, explore the features, share your experiences, and help other players out!

I only picked up HG for the first time two days ago so im going to be playing that for a good while. when thats over ill try one of the DPP games and then on to the Black and White series 1 and 2. I dont think ill be through all of those by the time gen 6 is out anyway

This may sound a bit wierd but it might be worth keeping a note of the people on here who still play D/P/Pt. Wouldn't it be cool if we had a network of people who we know we could battle with and trade against? Its so hard to find someone who hasn't sold their soul to the 5th generation and moved their teams across.

Me and my best friend, we're one of a kind. We loved Platinum, and I honestly thought HGSS and BW were no match for Platinum. True, I love Hoenn, but that doesn't mean I'd stop playing Gen IV games. Also, it's fun to notice that after Gen VI, Gen IV would become nostalgia for a LOT of people. So, other than HGSS, I'd never stop playing em.

I'm sure I will grow more and more distant from Sinnoh as time passes, I will definitely still be playing HGSS for a long time. They are , in my opinion, the best Pokemon games to date. But I am picking up really old Pokemon games right now for the first time in years and thoroughly enjoying myself, so I'm sure that I will never let them die.

Not to long ago I started playing the gen 4 games, so I know I won't let go of them anytime soon. Soul Silver just defeated the first gym, Pearl just defeated the 3rd gym. I still haven't finished my gen 5 game either, so I have a long way to go.

I rarely ever touch DP, because they run so slowly and it's honestly difficult to go back to them after playing games after their release...hell, it's hard to play them after playing a gen 3 game. They're just THAT slow! But I love Platinum and restarted mine last year, and I love HGSS as well. I mean, I still play games from gen I and II. I don't really give up any gen, and while 4th gen isn't my favorite, it has Platinum and HGSS, and that's all that matters. <3

No matter how many new Gens come out, every once in a while I'll always pick up one of the older games and have a run at it again. I like to relive the experiences i had when i played the games for the first time, sometimes it's just for fun, sometimes I'll do a challenge on it just to change up the gameplay
